But I refuse to rate Khan all that highly on the back of what he has done. I think it is very clever how they have played it, and I will be very surprised to see them go head deep into the division. I'll be impressed if they do, but I doubt it.
Paulie is a better fighter than Urango. Also if Khan fought and beat Urango, can you honestly say you wouldn't just say 'well he was fighting Alexander's sloppy seconds'?

He's said he wants to fight Maidana next, very clearly at the end of the last fight. What more would you want from him?

Btw, what's your take on the fact that Paulie said that Khan is a better fighter than Hatton, and as good as Cotto?
Paulie is a better boxer than Urango, but would he get through 12 rounds with him? We don't know. Paulie spent a year underweight with Diaz.

You know, I'm getting tired of repeating myself. I've said this elsewhere, I was impressed with Khans post fight interview! It's one of the reasons I haven't been all that harsh on him since. I think there is clever match making going on, but those words sounded alright to me! If he follows through then all the props too him just like I said earlier in this thread. Fenster has been baiting me, but I made my points clear earlier on.

As for Paulie's opinions. Khan throws more combo's but Hatton stalks and hits you. I suppose Paulie prefers the combos. Hatton hurt him a LOT more though, whence the dull fight we got. Paulie just doesn't like it.
